MARKING IMPLEMENT.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 297,812, dated April 29, 1884.

' Application filed August 18,1883. (Modem Implements; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of .the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being bad to the accompanying drawing, and to letters or figures of reference marked thereon, which forms a part of this specification.

This invention relates to striping and marking devices for painters; and it consists of certain improvements on the device described in Letters Patent No. 279, 767, granted to meJune 19, 1883, whereby the general form and construction of the device mentioned in said patent is simplified and cheapened, and at the same time rendered more effective in operation.

In the accompanying drawing, the figure represents a vertical section of a striping and marking device having my improvements embodied therein.

For a general understanding of the nature and objects of the invention, reference may be 0 had to the Letters Patent above recited.

In the accompanying drawing, A represents a cylindrical chamber adapted to contain the paint or marking-fluid, and, the said chamber is contracted at its upper and lower ends, a b.

Attached to the lower end, I), is a tube, B, contracted at its lower endand provided with an opening, a, therein, for the passage of the brush 0, which is connected to abrush-hold- Io ing rod or tube, D,which extends up through the tube B and chamber A, and is connected at its upper extremity to a cross-plate, d, secured to a nozzle, E, across the mouth of the same.

5 Centrally around the outer side of the nozzle E is a milled rib, e, for facilitating the manipulation of the nozzle, andthe said nozzle is exteriorly threaded below and above said milled rib e, the threaded portion below being adapted to engage the interiorlythreaded portion f of the contracted top a of the chamber A for the attachment of the noz- I zle thereto, while the threaded portion of the nozzle above the milled rib is adapted to receive an interiorly-threaded cap, F, for clos- 53 ing the mouth of the nozzle.

Centrally on. the brush-holding tube D is a piston or washer, G, which, when the brush is entirely out of the tubeB, rests on the upper portion of the said tube B, but is withdrawn from'the said tube B into the chamber Awhen the paint-brush is partially within the tube B, sothat the paint can freely flow to the same.

It is desirable to'so arrange the piston or washer G on the brush-holding tube that said washer can be removed from the tube B to admit the paint to the said tube B, and the'washer then moved into the same, so that by manipulating the threaded nozzle the piston descends with the rod D in the tube B andfeeds the paint tothe brush until the same is entirely without the tube B, and the end of v the rod D arrives at'the mouth of the tubeB and cuts off the further flow of paint.

From the foregoing it will be apparent that by the simple rotation of the threaded nozzle the brush,with its holding-tube,will be caused to descend or ascend, and the use of retracting spring levers and stops dispensed with. x

I claim- I. The combination, in a paint striping and marking machine, of the reservoir A, tube B, and threaded nozzle E, connected tothe brush-holding tube extending down through the reservoir A into the tube B, and carry- YVILLIAM A. KIBBE.
